Facilitate external community contribution to CFSv3 development (Bretherton)
Facilitate external community contribution to CFSv3 development (Bretherton)
10:10
Discussion: Expanding on Suru’s presentation, possible topics to include:
1) Near-term needs (software, hardware, collaborative efforts) for CFSv3
development?
2) CFSv3 performance metrics and diagnostics– including model biases, balance
between timescales; maintaining correct ensemble spread, minimizing effort
involved in reforecasting
3) Strategy for advancing DA (coupled DA; better land surface initialization
for subseasonal forecasts
4) Facilitating a community-friendly CFS development environment
Group 2: Climate prediction and products (Lead:
Kirtman and Gottschalck, Rapporteur: Becker)
Discussions on differences between the reanalysis for monitoring and
reforecast initializations, how to transition reanalysis research to
improved operational reanalysis, and how to coordinate the two reanalysis
efforts in a resource-constrained environments.
11:15
Break to take a group picture and to set
up the room back to the plenary setting
11:30
Report to the Plenary Session and discussions on next steps
Parallel project-level meetings with NCEP collaborators
Individual projects/teams will discuss science and R2O/O2R
issues of their ongoing CTB projects. The rooms will be arranged by NCEP
collaborators in the projects.
1) 3 atmosphere
modeling projects
2) 2 land modeling teams
3) 4 prediction projects
4) NMME Team Meeting (to be held in the conference center): (i) to
discuss the prediction science agenda for the coming year and (ii) to
establish collaborative links with the operational forecasters in terms of
both science and the forecast production.
